Mimosa Steel

Mimosa Fabric177

Mimosa Steel is a cool, softly weathered grey with a subtle woven texture that gives the plain surface quiet movement. The finish reads more steel than silver, with a muted depth that sits neatly in contemporary schemes.

About this fabric

Part of J Brown’s Mimosa collection, this plain colourway is made in 100% polyester and specified for Heavy Domestic use, with a Martindale rating of 40,000. The surface has a dry, lightly striated look, where pale and darker grey threads catch the light to create a calm, stone-like effect. Its cool steel tone keeps the fabric understated rather than shiny, making it an easy choice when you want texture without pattern. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care recommends professional dry clean in situ.

How to use it

Use Mimosa Steel on a sofa, accent chair or banquette when you want a disciplined grey that won’t feel flat. It pairs especially well with blackened metal, pale oak and chalky off-whites for a crisp, tailored room.

A versatile cool grey with a softly textured finish, ideal for tailored seating.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
